I was very tempted to get a G1X but it was way too expensive for what it was. So I decided to get a brand new GF2 for exactly the half price of G1X (I paid $399) and it also included a 14mm f/2.5 pancake and an extra battery. It was a wonderful deal for the price over image quality and portability for me. I think Canon should reconsider the pricing of G1X because the competition has extremely valuable offers.
